Sewer hose storage added...

I've been preparing for an upcoming week trip and decided to add a stinky slink holder after researching this mod.... This will allow me to remove one rubbermaid tote from the upfront storage.... Took about an hour to complete.

Bill of Materials:
One 8ft, 5"x5" vinyl fence post.
2- pyramid caps.
1- 2inch hinge w/ bolts, lock washers,lock nuts.
1- latch assembly w/ bolts, lock washers,lock nuts.
4-SS 5/16x 3/4 hex bolts w/ fender washers, lock washers,lock nuts.
1 piece of 2"x 4" screen.
2- sm screws
Total cost of about $42





I cut the post to 86" to fit my hoses with adapters installed.
Installed the hinge and latch assembly. Drilled small air holes in a 2"x 2" square pattern on opposong sides near each end. Also drilled a few very small holes on the bottom to help drain.. Take super glue and apply to screening and cover the vent holes on the inside of post. Hold in place with a dowel until set. There is a perfect place on the back of the premier 31bhpr to fit the post. Just behind the back stabilzers is a flat on the frame. Drill 2 holes about 3 inches on center on both sides. Hit the bare metal with a bit paint to seal. Get a helper and position the post. I favored more overhang on the driver side. Mark your holes and then drill out. Reinstall post and attach bolts. . Install cap on otherside and use 2 screws to set in place. Get a caribiner or similiar clip to keep the latch close... Your all set! I have 20 ft of hose with fittings perfectly stored on the outside of the TT where it belongs!!

If you add a gutter in side the post it acts like a drawer. I have that installed on mine works great.

I have been unable to find 5" gutter which doesn't have a funny lip one side to make the extra 1"? Would love to do that.

I thought about that but my two 10 ft hoses connect and with the tank fittings installed are only 6 inches from the opening so I'm able to slide them in and out without it.. Glad I did this mod
